    Hey, it is a good chance to meet new and different people, espcially if there is a resturant or a cafe with the hotel.
    I have had a few good conversations with people at hotels that I didn't know until I said hello to them.:o

    I am almost lethally anti-social in any non-party, non-pubbing setting. I hide it well, but only because there are laws about murder.
    Do you start these conversations batty?

    Sometimes I do start them yes, start off with a bit of small talk, such as "why are you staying here", "have you come for any specific reason" etc etc.
    It can be quite revealing, if I am in a place that I have been before, and they have or would like some info on i we get talking about that, but it can be all manner of diffetent reasons, someobe I got talking to, stayed at the hotel that we were both staying at because he liked the owners voice on the telephone!
    There are lots of different people out there, and it can be fun learnibg about them.

    It's a bit creepy if some randomer starts talking to you if you're chillin' in the hotel lobby. Having a beer, reading the paper, having a chill and then some plonker comes up and starts yattering on.

    Okay, one more message and then sleep time, it all just depends on the situation, I wouldn't disturb someone if they were deep in a book, or something like that.

    It is just good natured anyway, nothing malicious or anything like that.

    I prefer to meet people I have more in common with than just happening to be in the same location.

    This will only interest Tribec but is still related to Man Utd....

    CBC reporter at the Stanley Cup Final in LA said there were lots of celebrities in attendance, including "David Beckman".

    In hotels the protocol is to read a book when in the bar or dining room - this is British business speak for 'F*** off, I don't want to talk'. This of course is redundant if there is a woman by herself in the vicinity - this turns one into the most social person in the world.

    True show offs of course replace the book with an iPad, which gives them the chance to say loudly 'Is there WiFi in here?'

    He has his only little clip on NHL.com even. I'm torn on them winning the cup. I like the fact a team from the West have won it, as it kills the East is stronger arguements. However, it's them. I naturally dislike Vancouver and Calgary... but the Kings they stole Wayne from us... We'd have won more than our 5 cups were it not for THE trade.

    I'm waiting for the first pictures of Beck's with the Stanley Cup, as I wouldn't be shocked to see that he'd have got into the dressing room party afterwards. Not seen that video yet, but it will be coming soon I'm sure.

    Next season's fixture list is out on Monday so that makes me feel better. At least I can start planning some weekends away and reply to wedding invites!!

    M refuses to book anything or make plans in case it clashes with a home game. I've not got the heart to break it to him that we go to Hamburg on the opening weekend :eek:
